The Introduction

What is 'normal' ? It is different from what is usual. But normality is unusual that you have to react in a negative way to make any sense. Some people choose to be abnormal, while some people are made abnormal by other people. A lot of these people usually have a mental disorder. People are wary of these people because they are unpredictable.

Those with a mental disorder depend on medical staff, as well as themselves to get better. However, they are also dependent on the people who have perpetrated these deeds. They rely on these people when they need someone's help the next time, it's addictive. As far as the disturbed people go, they don't necessarily imagine the thing that they experience.  Most of it is based on fact, although the imaginings might be exaggerated.

They don't talk about their experiences until they see a psychiatrist or nurse, as they trust these professionals, to a certain extent. People take advantage of these disturbed people so many times, that they have to take revenge, even though it does not warrant it. A lot of people with mental disorders are depressed. Once you get depressed, then it becomes a catalyst, it's a vicious circle, one leads to another.  You go by what has happened to you before.

Reality seems to be unreal and so unpredictable that people under pressure cannot tell the difference.
